Largo Ordinance 2019-28 caps short-term rental occupancy at one guest per 150 gross square feet of air-conditioned living space, with the limit posted inside the unit and on listings.
Unlike many Florida cities that count bedrooms, Largo measures vacation rental occupancy by floor area. Ordinance 2019-28 limits the number of guests to one person per 150 gross square feet of air-conditioned living space, calculated from the building card. The limit must be posted prominently inside the rental and matched on the rental's online listing. Pinellas County's Certificate of Use program also enforces this cap as part of inspection. Florida law allows local governments to set occupancy limits for vacation rentals when the rule is applied consistently with other residential properties. Hosts who exceed the cap risk fire-code violations because the same air-conditioned area also informs egress and life-safety calculations performed by the Largo Fire Department during inspection.
Exceeding the occupancy cap can lead to municipal citations, suspension of the city Business Tax Receipt, and revocation of the Pinellas County Certificate of Use after repeat violations.
